Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mass percent of composition of the gaseous mixture needs to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Mass percent for any component is known as the ratio of mass of the component to the mass of all the component.
Here mA is the mass of component A, mtot is the mass of total components.
According to the
Moles are known as the ratio of mass and molar mass. Below is the formula:
Here, MM is molar mass and m is the mass.
Answer to Problem 89QAP
The composition of O2 is
Explanation of Solution
The pressure, volume and temperature of both tanks A and B is 1.38 atm, 750 ml or 0.750 L, and 25 0C respectively.
Converting the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin
Therefore, temperature in kelvin is 298 K
Both the tanks have CO2, O2 and N2 . Substituting the values in ideal gas equation and total number of moles of gases:
The total no. of moles of gases in each tank are 0.042 mol.
The mass of absorber containing CO2 from tank A is 0.114 g. The molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol. The mol of CO2 in each tank is:
After removal of N2 from tank B, the pressure of tank B is 1.11 atm. Now, the mol of gases remaining are:
Therefore, the total mole of CO2 and O2 in each tank is 0.034 mol
The moles of O2 and N2 are:
And
Therefore, the mole of O2 and N2 is 0.031 mol and 0.008 mol respectively.
The mass of CO2 is 0.114. The molar mass of O2 is 32 g/mol. The mol of N2 is 28 g/mol. Now the mass of O2 :
The mass of N2 would be:
Therefore, the mass of O2 is 0.99 g and mass of N2 is 0.224 g
The total mass of gases in each tank:
The total mass of gases is 1.330 g.
Now calculating the mass percent O2, N2 and CO2.
Thus, the composition of O2 is
The composition of O2 is

- 93 The complete combustion of octane can be used as a model for the burning of gasoline: 2C8H18+25O216CO2+18H2O Assuming that this equation provides a reasonable model of the actual combustion process, what volume of air at 1.0 atm and 25°C must be taken into an engine to burn 1 gallon of gasoline? (The partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.21 atm and the density of liquid octane is 0.70 g/mL.)arrow_forwardA collapsed balloon is filled with He to a volume of 12.5 L at a pressure of 1.00 atm. Oxygen, O2, is then added so that the final volume of the balloon is 26 L with a total pressure of 1.00 atm. The temperature, which remains constant throughout, is 21.5 C. (a) What mass of He does the balloon contain? (b) What is the final partial pressure of He in the balloon? (c) What is the partial pressure of O2 in the balloon? (d) What is the mole fraction of each gas?arrow_forwardA chemist weighed out 5.14 g of a mixture containing unknown amounts of BaO(s) and CaO(s) and placed the sample in a 1.50-L flask containing CO2(g) at 30.0C and 750. torr. After the reaction to form BaCO3(s) and CaCO3(s) was completed, the pressure of CO2(g) remaining was 230. torr. Calculate the mass percentages of CaO(s) and BaO(s) in the mixture.arrow_forward
- A sample of a smoke stack emission was collected into a 1.25-L tank at 752 mm Hg and analyzed. The analysis showed 92% CO2, 3.6% NO, 1.2% SO2, and 4.1% H2O by mass. What is the partial pressure exerted by each gas?arrow_forwardYou have a 550.-mL tank of gas with a pressure of 1.56 atm at 24 C. You thought the gas was pure carbon monoxide gas, CO, but you later found it was contaminated by small quantities of gaseous CO2 and O2. Analysis shows that the tank pressure is 1.34 atm (at 24 C) if the CO2 is removed. Another experiment shows that 0.0870 g of O2 can be removed chemically. What are the masses of CO and CO2 in the tank, and what is the partial pressure of each of the three gases at 25 C?arrow_forwardButyl mercaptan, C4H9SH, has a very bad odor and is among the compounds added to natural gas to help detect a leak of otherwise odorless natural gas. In an experiment, you burn 95.0 mg of C4H9SH and collect the product gases (SO2, CO2, and H2O) in a 5.25-L flask at 25 C. What is the total gas pressure in the flask, and what is the partial pressure of each of the product gases?arrow_forward
